Everyone knows you must have skills to succeed in whatever job or career you’ve chosen for yourself. Why is it then when it comes to network marketing, most people think if they just talk to enough people and have the right attitude that it will somehow all work out?

The truth is…97% of networkers have the 80/20 rule completely backwards. Why is this the case? It’s because they lack the specific skills needed to succeed in their business.

Everybody knows 2 things about networking and business

1. If we are going to make some money, then we need to talk to people.

Ask any would-be home business entrepreneur if they want to succeed, and you’ll get a firm and definitive “yes.” But ask them what they’re willing to give up, sacrifice, suffer, accept, tolerate and forgo for that success – and you’ll get a wide range of responses. A few people even expect success to be automatic, instant, effortless.

These folks have what is known as “the lottery mentality.”

Some are willing to invest a little time and effort to get results, but won’t go beyond that, being satisfied with whatever they can achieve, or grumbling, “this wasn’t going to work anyway.”

Yes. The word is magic…but…our passion, which drives our business and drives us can, in most cases, create a blind spot…and that can cost us a lot of ‘yeses’ and a lot more money.

Why?

Once are believe in what we are doing we can easily forget that we were skeptical…at least we acted like we were. In truth, we all have some level of fear before we enroll, but once we do and get committed…..the ‘built-in forgetter‘ kicks in and we develop a blind spot.

If you ‘get this’ video….and do a tiny bit of research, you’ll sponsor more people.

I promised Success Coach Kathy Zimmer that I’d limit myself to one rant a quarter. It’s July…YIPPEE! A new quarter and I get to go on a rant.

It just drives me nuts how far off base the collective consciousness is in network marketing today. How to sponsor more people is the calling card of the ‘magic system’ peddlers, fleecing the new, inexperienced or improperly trained reps of millions and millions and millions of dollars.

It’s not all their fault…it’s criminal, but it really takes 2 for the crime. I’m not mad at them, they’re not worth the price of my time. It’s really the companies, the MLM companies, who have led the flocks down the wrong path.

Have you ever considered the fact that your personal philosophies where money is concerned, could be a hindrance to receiving the income or wealth you desire? Your “mindset for money” is a very important element in your overall prosperity, so take some time to really consider the areas below.

Here are eight questions to ask yourself to make sure you’re open and ready to receive the wealth you are striving for:

Are you wise with the money you have? Do you build, invest in or buy assets? Or do you use your money to buy more things you do not need? Are you in debt and not serious about getting rid of it? Put first things first. It’s a spiritual law that if you can be trusted with little, you will be given much.

Do you think Donald Trump or Robert Kiyosaki have faith? Do they get up every morning and struggle with deciding whether or not to take action that day to drive their businesses forward?

How are they able to get up every morning and not have to deal with managing themselves in order to take the actions they need to take? It’s because their personal philosophies or beliefs are programmed for success and the creation of wealth. You know this by their results. Before it showed up in their results, their beliefs were evident in their thoughts, words and actions. They both believed they could succeed and they did. Whether they realized it or not, they had faith that the results they desired would show up. Simple enough, right?

Why is it you keep thinking about the very thing you don’t want, even when you’re hugely motivated to manifest something new?

What you don’t want has affected you because you’ve experienced it in the past, pulled it into your present, and therefore it is foremost in your mind.

To create something new, you have to continually and purposefully pull away from what you don’t want in your mind and imagination. You must refrain from intending its continuation. Before something you intend can manifest, you have to discontinue manifesting what you don’t intend or want. Continue reading “Use Your Imagination to Create Wealth by Kathy Zimmer”

You can gain a huge advantage over other networkers by knowing the difference between accomplishment vs. achievement. Not only for your benefit, but for the benefit of every new rep you enroll into your business. Knowing this can make all the difference between success and failure.

Some years ago, I had the pleasure of randomly running into a famous comedian. I was at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles having lunch with some friends. Over lunch, we were discussing the stressful relationship I was in at the time. I had gone outside to get something out of my car, when I noticed a familiar looking person walking towards me. As he got closer, I recognized that it was Rodney Dangerfield.

After a brief hello and some talk about the weather, he made the mistake of asking me what was going on in my life. My relationship woes were very raw that day, so I spent the next 10 or 15 minutes telling him my problems. (I figured I’d never see him again). He stood there and listened, and then said something extremely blunt. Continue reading “Doing The Simple Things Brings Network Marketing Success”
